Originally released through Columbia Records on September 29, 1992, Alice In Chains’ second full-length studio album, Dirt, established the band as formidable frontrunners in the alt-rock music revolution rolling out of the Pacific Northwest, achieving multi-platinum mainstream success while remaining true to an uncompromising underground sound and vision. Dirt was the last Alice In Chains album to be recorded with the Seattle group’s core four founding members: Jerry Cantrell (guitar, vocals), Sean Kinney (drums), Mike Starr (bass) and Layne Staley (lead vocals).

Alice In Chains began recording Dirt in the spring of 1992, working again with producer Dave Jerden, who’d helmed their debut studio album, Facelift, in 1990. Laying down tracks for Dirt at Eldorado Recording Studio in Burbank, California, London Bridge Studio in Seattle, and One on One Studios in Los Angeles from April to July 1992, Alice In Chains surpassed all expectations, creating one of the foundational albums of grunge and the best-selling album of the group’s career.

Dirt peaked at #6 on the Billboard 200 and remained on the Billboard charts for nearly two years. The album was voted Kerrang! Critic’s Choice Album of the Year for 1992 and in October 2011, Guitar World ranked Dirt as the #1 guitar album of 1992.

Alice In Chains will hit the road for a co-headline tour with Breaking Benjamin and special guest Bush, running from August 10 through October 8. Details  HERE

The band also recently partnered with Funko to launch a Pop! Album Deluxe to commemorate the Dirt anniversary featuring the 4 band members. This Funko 4 vinyl figurine set is available for pre-order now. HERE.
